A Nigerian-born doctor who lied about his age and killed a mother-of-three in a botched routine procedure while her husband begged him to stop, has been jailed for three years.
Isyaka Mamman, an 85-year-old NHS Doctor carried out a ‘highly dangerous procedure’ on the married mum of three instead of using a conventional technique, even as her husband ‘begged’ him to stop and she ‘screamed’ in pain.
The doctor who was suspended once by medical watchdogs before being sacked, was re-employed by the Royal Oldham Hospital, where he was responsible for a series of critical incidents.
The medic had also used various dates of birth and left his previous job due to “poor performance”, Manchester Crown Court earlier heard.
At an earlier hearing, Mamman pleaded guilty to gross negligence manslaughter. Jailing him for three years at Manchester Crown Court, Mrs Justice Yip said the death was his main responsibility but the hospital trust should have done more after Dr Mamman had lied about his age and botched two earlier similar procedures, injuring patients.
Prosecutors said the procedure carried out on Mrs Parveen was rarely used in the UK. She had objected as Dr Mamman asked her to roll onto her back but submitted after he reassured her he had 40 years of experience, Manchester Crown Court previously heard.
